Not exactly true.. many media related upstreams forces "ricing" flags (-fomg-so-fast) on packages, but that does not really mean it's more stable that way... actually, xine-lib proved to be way more stable while *not* using ricing CFLAGS. The actual problem there is that many packages have code that breaks if you remove those flags, so for example xine-lib has to foce a few flags on to work fine (on x86).
